Was the answer immediate, or did you have to wait a while? I just ask this because I've been praying for a husband since I was 18, and now I'm 27, and the answer still isn't clear. I'm just wondering...serious answers only, please.

Do you really think that God doesn't have anything better to be concerned with? I've never prayed for myself, only for others that really need it. You are so focused on the end goal that I bet you have missed a dozen guys along the way. Not to mention that if you tell a guy you have been praying for a husband for 9 years they are gonna run away at full speed. Start living life for yourself, make yourself happy without needing another, and love will find you.

I wasnt praying for a husband, I was running around doing stupid things and dating tons of people. My mom was praying the whole time that I'd find someone to love and settle down with and sure enough...we met at a party, got married a month later, and we're still together (14 months). So just keep praying. And you never know, the one you're looking for could be someone you already know, or he may come into your life totally unexpectadly! (like mine). Trust me, when you find the right guy, you know. Good luck!

Praying is only half the battle, you also have to get out there and see what options He has put in front of you!! A great guy thats husband material isnt gonna fall into your lap from outta the sky! Go out there and find somethings you love doing and then look around at who else loves doing it too..Church, bowling leagues, cooking classes, sporting events, farmers markets, guys are everywhere. Once you see a good one, ask him to help you with something..thats where your prayers come in..to give you that little push you need! Good luck!

Never, EVER stop praying. But not only pray, get involved with your church ministries, keep your mind & body active and have a positive attitude. I didn't get married till I turned 43, and I'm so glad I waited.
The Lord hears every prayer, and there's someone out there just for you. Don't give up!

I aways prayed to find the right man, since I was 18. It happened when I least expected it. I was 22. It's alright to pray to find the right spouse, but you still need to keep on living. Don't look at everyone you date as a potential life partner. Enjoy your life and it will happen when you least expect it. When I stopped "looking" and "analyzing", it happened.

I don't think god has a predisposed man that will fall in love with you. I think when you pray and ask for a husband God will give you oppurtunity instead of an actual physical man. You cant just wait and hope that such a life changing person will fall into your lap. Go out, search, look for the love of your life. Maybe god wont lead your man of your dreams to you. But he can lead you to the man of your dreams.

This is a very touchy question with me. I prayed for God to send me an Angel and He did. My prayers were answered. But I forgot to pray for her to stay with me forever and ever; thus, He took her away from me two years ago. I now have been Given another Angel . . . I hope that you find you’re Prayers will be Answered too. Take care.

Are you out and meeting people? You have to participate in order for your prayers to be answered. Praying for a husband, job or money...all of these things can be received but you have to take action to find what you need. Make since? Also it is in his time not ours.....maybe it isn't your time. Be patient.

Uh, well...
God isn't exactly...a matchmaker.
He can put the wheels in place, but only you can set them in motion.
I sometimes pray to find the love of my life, but it's more about MY ability to "see" and not God's ability "provide".
God loves you. He wants you to be happy.
And maybe he wants you to realize that being married doesn't mean you'll be happy.
Maybe he wants you to aim for something bigger. Set your sights a little higher.
Eventually, you will find someone to love for the rest of your life.
But right now...maybe God is trying to tell you that marriage isn't in your immediate future. Maybe something else is more important to the PLAN right now.
Keep at it though, pray for a sign.
Good Luck,
-Sam
